DVDFab Has Ignored Court's Shut Down Order, AACS Says (torrentfreak.com)
An anonymous reader cites a report on TorrentFreak: DVDFab has failed to cease its operations in the U.S. and should be sanctioned, AACS says. The decryption licensing outfit founded by Warner Bros, Disney, Microsoft, Intel and others, informs a New York federal court that DVDFab's parent company has blatantly ignored a permanent injunction that was issued last year. In 2014 decryption licensing outfit AACS LA initiated a renewed crackdown on DRM-circumvention software. The company, founded by a group of movie studios and technology partners, sued the makers of popular DVD and Blu-Ray ripping software DVDFab in a New York federal court. After a brief legal battle the court ruled in favor of AACS, issuing an injunction based on the argument that the "DVDFab Group" violates the DMCA's anti-circumvention clause, since their software can bypass DVD and Bluray encryption. Among other things, the injunction barred DVDFab from distributing its software in public and allowed AACS to seize a wide range of domain names. The crippling injunction seemed to work, but not for long. In a new court filing, AACS notes that the software vendor briefly blocked U.S. purchases but went back to business as usual soon after (PDF).
Can I go to court and get an injunction against AACS being douche-nozzles?
That's a great idea. Only a terrorist would want to use encryption. Perhaps the the entire R/MIAA should be sent to Gitmo.
And I think we can make it revenue neutral, or even make a profit. We'll sell tickets to anyone who would like to waterboard them. After all, they must be hiding something on those disks. Why else would they encrypt them? Or people can pay to choose which song will be blasted in their cell. Kind of like a torture jukebox.
I'm not autistic and I don't want to watch all those ads either. Who does?
If the use of encryption is banned in the United States (for private individuals), terrorists will probably start mailing encrypted Blu-Ray disks, containing operational instructions, to each other. Suggested titles might include "Mullahs Gone Wild" and "Three Men and a Fatwah".
